RTE is furthering the worldwide movement of remineralizing soils with rock dust and sea minerals to restore soils and forests and to stabilize the climate.

You don’t need a farm to remineralize.

A backyard garden, raised bed, or even a single fruit tree can benefit from rock dust applications. As minerals are slowly released through weathering, they support soil biology and long-term fertility. 🌱

A key takeaway from our newest article:

Farmers paid nothing.

Climate finance covered the costs of enhanced rock weathering & farmers kept the benefits of larger harvests.

Carbon removal & agricultural development don't have to be separate goals.

Our latest article explores a large-scale ERW deployment by Mati Carbon in India that increased rice yields by a median of 22.9% while removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.

An example of climate finance supporting farmers & carbon removal. 🌱

What’s the world’s largest carbon removal machine?

Nature.

Forests, oceans, & soils remove carbon every day. Remineralization works with natural systems, helping strengthen one of Earth’s oldest climate solutions. 🌱

Can rocks fight climate change?

Rain reacts with certain rocks to capture CO₂ & convert to a bicarbonate (a stable form of carbon, it can remain stored for thousands of years)

#EnhancedRockWeathering helps speed up this natural process. 🪨

New findings from France suggest regenerative agriculture improves drought resilience.

During 2023 droughts, regenerative farms lost ~8% of yields, compared to 22% on least regenerative farms, nearly 3x less loss.

Healthy soils = climate resilience

What is remineralization?

It's the process of adding crushed rock minerals to soil to replenish nutrients, support soil life, improve plant growth, and remove CO₂.

A natural solution that benefits everyone. 🌎

Most people think soil is dirt.

Billions of organisms beneath our feet cycle nutrients, support plant growth, and help regulate the carbon cycle.

Healthy soils need healthy microbes, and healthy microbes need minerals to thrive. 🌱

~500,000 tons of plastic mulch film are used in U.S. agriculture each year, with most ending up in landfills or being burned.

New research from Washington State University shows these films can be recycled into durable new materials. ♻️

Frontier has committed $57.1 million to an Enhanced Rock Weathering project with Lithos Carbon.

Hoping to remove ~154,000 tons of CO₂ by 2028 through basalt applications on U.S. farmland.

A major step forward for scalable carbon removal. 🌱

Trees cool cities, but 600+ million face 'cooling poverty,' lacking resources to stay safe in extreme heat. 🌳

Nature has been removing CO₂ for millions of years through rock weathering.

The challenge? It happens very slowly.

#Remineralization accelerates this process, helping remove carbon & supporting healthy soils.🌎

The soil beneath your feet may be missing something important.

Over time, agricultural soils can lose essential minerals that support soil health, productivity, & resilience.

Strong MRV is critical for scaling Enhanced Rock Weathering. We're excited to see Mati Carbon release a free tool that helps users stress-test ERW data and evaluate signal reliability.

Open science strengthens confidence in carbon removal. 🌍

The Miyawaki Method has inspired thousands of "pocket forests" worldwide by densely planting native species to accelerate ecosystem recovery.

Its focus on biodiversity, soil health, and local ecosystems offers valuable lessons for restoration. 🌱

Beneath every healthy forest and field, there is an invisible network doing important work.

This network is made up of fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms working to cycle nutrients, support plant growth, & build resilience.

New in Nature: temporary carbon removal can't fully offset CO2, but it can credibly compensate for short-lived gases like methane.

A physics-based framework that finally draws the line on climate accounting has been missing. 🌍

Trees can cool city streets by up to 12°C, but only with the right species, in the right layout, in the right climate.

Only 18–20% of Canada's native grasslands remain. When the rest was plowed, centuries of stored soil carbon went with it.

The UN's Year of Rangelands is a timely reminder: grassland conservation is carbon removal. 🌍
